Trump threatens to sue more media outlets like ABC to pay $15 million to settle lawsuits

Donald Trump said yesterday at a news conference at Mar-a-Lago that he would answer a few questions.

When he finished speaking, he continued for another hour.

Trump made news on dozens of topics. It’s a reminder of his independent streak that even the most insufferable journalist can’t stand. The incoming president is also a news machine, making headlines all the time. Set the terms of the discussion. In sharp contrast to the reclusive Joe Biden.

Trump also deflected a few questions he absolutely shouldn’t have answered, such as strategy toward Ukraine. And will he retaliate against Iran?

Trump leaves China speculating what his next move will be with an invitation to take office.

I was a little surprised that he attacked the media. Because this contradicts his recent statements about dealing with hostile news outlets. As long as they treat him fairly.

This comes two days after ABC and George Stephanopoulos Apologize to Trump to End Defamation It agreed to donate $15 million to the president’s library or foundation. Plus another million dollars to cover his legal expenses. This helps avoid what could be an embarrassing and grueling deposition by its star anchor.

The network problem is Stephanopoulos has repeatedly said that Trump was found liable for “rape,” repeating the phrase about 10 times in E.’s civil suit. Gene Carroll when a jury found him responsible for “Sexual harassment”

Although the judge said such acts were often interpreted as rape. But in New York, the law is different. You don’t agree to $15 million unless you think you don’t have much of a case.

Trump has said he is taking legal action against “60 Minutes” for substituting different, stricter answers to questions that were not previously asked. This is a practice that most journalists, including me, consider a major mistake on CBS.

“We have to straighten out the media,” he said. “The media is very corrupt. It’s almost as corrupt. with our elections.”

He added: “I’m not doing this because I want to. I do this because I feel I have an obligation,” Trump said. “In my opinion, It is fraud and election interference.”
